The most beautiful totebags in fashion land
A totebag is also known as a “tote bag” in Dutch. This is because the bag has two large handles on both sides making it easy to carry. In many cases, a totebag is open and cannot be closed. You have the bags in different types of materials. A common fabric is linen or canvas, but you also have them in leather or cotton. These tend to be more luxurious and pricey totebags. We share some designer variations that have stood the test of time:
Longchamp
